CXO Award Programs

CSO NEXT Awards 2009

Since our launch CSO has recognized the security field's most outstanding leaders with our CSO Compass Awards. The nomination form for those awards is at http://public.cxo.com/awards/applicationCSOCompass2009.html.

In 2008, we introduced the NEXT Awards for the next generation of security leaders. These awards will recognize newer security professionals who have distinguished themselves through excellence or leadership in a narrower field of endeavor. Examples could include: direction of a particular project or system implementation; demonstrable results in an area of focus such as investigations; conceiving and executing a creative new idea that delivers great business and security benefits.


Eligible nominees will work for a company outside of the security industry. You can leave the website and return as many times as necessary to complete the application by bookmarking this page in your Web browser.
